Monthly Grocery for children | Extending to 20 families from current 10

As you know, we’ve been providing monthly grocery kits to 10 children from Matha High School, Mannampetta since January, following our Christmas initiative last December (2024). These kits, worth around ₹1,000 each, is funded by individuals and not from our internal fund.  The school has now reached out to us with a request to extend this support to 10 more children starting this August, based on similar needs. 

This would cost  additional ₹10,000 per month. My suggestion is that we support two months through internal funds, and raise support for the remaining ten months through individual contributions. Encouragingly, we already have commitments for 8 months (plus 2 from internal). Let me know if you guys are ok to put 20 K per year from internal fund for this initiative. Please see the letter from school for this additional request and the tracker for what ever we have done so far from last Jan.
